This place is always busy and has a crazy wait time. The wait time was an hour to a hour and a half. We also tried calling ahead of time to see if they could cook us some fish that we had caught. They said...they could but no one knew how much we should bring. So, it wouldve been really nice to know that we would have to wait an hour and a half with fresh fish in our hands ahead of time. Thankfully, the hosts told us to go down to the Half Shell Raw Bar and that was a MUCH better idea! We were seated immediately and it wasn't packed like the Conch was, even with covid......More

Waited about 40 mins for a table. Food was horrendous, waitstaff completely uninterested. He actually slid the food along the table to us rather than ask to pass it along. Brought the wrong dinner which was mediocre at best. Not worth the money at all.More

While in Key West we visited here to have dinner. I ordered the oyster garlic parmesan. My boyfriend ordered the crab cakes. My oysters came out looking like they were covered in mud and sprinkled with bagged parmesan ( not melted). I don't play with...oysters so I asked the waiter to take it back and just bring out calamari. He insisted for me to try the oysters before sending them back in which I told him no thanks several times. He then turns his head to the side and smirks while whispering something underneath his breath. I could have made the situation a lot more complicated for him but chose to let him marinate in his ignorance. My boyfriend's crab cakes were delicious. I ordered a fish sandwich with fries. Fish could have been seasoned a little more. My boyfriend ordered the fried shrimp plate. I do exspect great service when sitting down to eat at a restaurant. I don't exspect to be silently ridiculed like I was from the waiter. At the end waiter watch to see if a tip was going to be left from us. It's a shame because we did leave one but he definitely did not earn it.More

Three of us had dinner at the CRS recently and the food was mediocre, definitely not up to a locals expectation of locally cooked seafood. The food was bland and tasteless. (Conch, Conch fritters, tuna tataki) Our waiter, while efficient, seemed to either be too...rushed or just didn't really care about "kindness". He gave "lip-service" but didn't stick around for even a moment to find out if things were OK after he asked. I think they are catering to tourist who will never return, so what does it matter? The bar, being on the bight is a great location-day or night. Drinks and bartenders are very good. I will continue to go to CRS's bar, but not for the food again.More

This place came recommended by a guest of the hotel we were staying at. So we went, and I really wish we hadn't. I ordered the blackened scallops as I can't eat them very often because of where I live. I was told they were..."jumbo size" and there was four of them. 33 bucks. Not exactly cheap given the tax and gratuity that needs to go over the top. Came with "risotto-style Israeli cous cous". When the food came, it turned out that, in order to "blacken" the rather unimpressive (i.e. small) scallops, they had been covered in some sort of seasoning. Why would anyone want to to do that to scallops, that is sacrilege. The food came with some pak choi which was completely unseasoned and hard as nails, completely uncooked. I am au fait with the term "al dente". This was not it. The risotto-style Israeli cous cous was just gloop. The rest of our party did not finish their food either. When I complained the staff blamed the "Texan chef". I suggested that I would not allow for any gratuity as he had misrepresented the food and he stormed off in a huff. Just goes to show he had no interest in presenting good food in a nice way, but just to get his hands on some of our hard-earned dosh for little or no effort. Which is pretty much the story of the whole week in Florida. Crap food, no customer service at all, high prices. Just don't go, it's not worth it.More

We popped by around 7:30 pm on a Saturday evening without reservations and were seated within 15 minutes. Excellent food, great service and cool dockside ambiance! Good times were being had by all. Waitress was so into our celebration you could see the joy in...her interactions with us! (I think we really made her day) We saw musicians coming in but sadly we were all done and stuffed before the live music began. Maybe next year we'll come back and dine a bit later:)More

Very busy and rude staff member at the front. He took my name for a table and told me they’d call in 30 mins. He was very direct and told me they had nothing now. It took longer than 30 and then when they did...call I told them, thank you but we had found something else to eat...the girl hung up the phone on me. 😳. So I have no clue how their food is but I can barely give them a star for the attitude of the staff, so I can’t imagine how their food will actually taste. Hopefully it is a little less crabby.More

We had conch fritters, the first we have had in years. There were 8 hush puppy sized fritters for $11. We were disappointed. The conch was chopped fine or maybe they just used juice. We did not feel like we had any conch. The Key...West pink shrimp were excellent and worth the high price of $29 a pound. The table next to us got conch chowder and loved it. We should have tooMore

After a couple of days of great seafood, it was time for a wonderful hamburger. Conch Republic consistently delivers a burger which is properly cooked, juicy and tasty. Three burgers were requested with a variety of toppings. above average fries. very good jerk chicken sandwich.

Great large outdoor atmosphere. Very busy as we approached entrance. We find hired we’d have a long wait, so sat at large bar with several TV’s. I took a quick visit to gift shop. Within 15 minutes, our table was ready. We were sitting by...the window with greatt view of boats on Harbor walk. Our waiter was attentive, funny, and made good food suggestions when asked. We started with Oyster appetizer. They were fresh and tasty. I had fresh snapper with garlic chimichurri and marinated cherry tomatoes. Served with smashed potatoes and chef’s fresh vegetables. The fish was very fresh. I love garlic, however the garlic chimichurri was so strong it overpowered fish. Everything else was good My husband had the grouper and it was better than snapper, so we switched. Very busy restaurant so naturally noisy but still fun. We got great restaurant and bar suggestions from both waiter and guy that cleared table.More

There are many lookalike places to enjoy a casual lunch or dinner in Key West but Conch stands out for me. Perfectly cooked fish, great pink and red shrimp, efficient service all make for a great stop when you get hungry. Well worth checking out...the Conch!More
